Yes:

  • What size boiler, for starters, and what make?
  • What is the total dissolved solids [TDS] of the feedwater?
  • What is the blowdown TDS figure?
  • What is the steaming rate?
  • What percentage of the feed is recovered condensate, and at what quality and temperature?
  • What is the flue exit temperature?
  • What is the steam outlet temperature and pressure?

Then do an energy balance calculation on the steam drum, and go from there.

Are you sure that it's even safe for you to be working on a boiler?
